Before the Event

Call your airline for information on flight arrivals and departures before, during and after an emergency. Operations may be interrupted.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and North Perry Airport are not shelters. There are no provisions to provide housing for the public during an emergency.

Do not park your car in the airport's garages. Garage parking spaces are used to store airport-related vehicles and support equipment.

In the event of a weather emergency, such as a tropical storm, airport personnel monitor the situation closely and, in consultation with the airlines, will determine when the last flights are allowed to arrive and depart at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. This will be announced in local media.

Flights must stop with sufficient time in advance of a weather event to ensure that airlines can relocate aircraft to a safe location. This means that flights that normally terminate at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport may terminate at an alternate stop.
